SOLVED: Task { @MainActor vs. DispatchQueue.main.async {

In working through day 72, Paul introduced this code:

Task { @MainActor in
  self.isUnlocked = true
}

Is that any different from this?

DispatchQueue.main.async {
  self.isUnlocked = true
}

They both seem to produce the same result. I've seen the latter one used more in my limited experience at this point.

I've seen the latter one used more in my limited experience at this point.

That's because Swift's concurrency system is new, only having been introduced within the last year.

While there may be some subtle differences, those two snippets essentially do the same thing.
